About Me

As a minimally invasive general surgeon at NYU Langone, I am dedicated to providing advanced surgical care that prioritizes patient wellbeing. My approach focuses on ensuring each individual receives the most effective and least invasive treatment possible. By utilizing minimally invasive robotic surgical methods, I aim to reduce postoperative pain, expedite healing, and facilitate quicker returns to daily activities for my patients.

I specialize in treating gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), hiatal and paraesophageal hernias, achalasia, and inguinal and abdominal wall hernias, as well as diseases of the gallbladder and appendix. My expertise also extends to managing complex conditions such as esophageal motility disorders and cancers of the gastric and esophageal regions. The precision and efficacy of minimally invasive surgery allow me to address these conditions with minimal disruption to my patients' lives.

My professional journey has been marked by a diverse and enriching range of experiences. After completing my general surgery residency at NYU Langone, where I encountered a wide array of surgical challenges, I served as the sole general surgeon and endoscopist at Naval Health Clinic Lemoore in California. This role honed my skills in providing comprehensive surgical care in a demanding environment. Subsequently, I pursued advanced training through the Advanced GI-MIS Fellowship at USC Keck School of Medicine, where I gained invaluable experience in minimally invasive foregut surgery.

My path to becoming a surgeon began during a pivotal six-week rotation at a small Catholic community hospital in Pittsburgh during my third year of medical school. The ability of general surgeons to resolve patients' issues swiftly and effectively through well-planned surgeries captivated me. This experience solidified my desire to pursue a career in surgery, leading me from small-town central Pennsylvania to a fulfilling professional journey across the United States.
